Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation can improve quality of life of patients who get terminal pulmonary disease and also it can help to get better survival. Now it has become one of the best therapeutic methods for terminal pulmonary disease. However, limited donors leave the development of lung transplantation in dilemma. The emergence of living lobar transplantation and cadeveric lobar transplantation let this procedure much easier.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical probability of bilateral lobar transplantation.
METHODS: Sequential bilateral lobar transplantation was performed for one 26 years old cystic fibrosis female. Cardiac pulmonary bypass was used during operation. Anti-rejection (Tacrolimus, mycophenolate, etc) and anti-infection was used postoperatively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The recovery course postoperatively was smooth, and the recipient got out of hospital 7 weeks later. Bilateral lobar transplantation could offer satisfied short-term pulmonary function. The long term results should be further evaluated.
